An S-corporation isn’t a separate legal entity; rather, it’s a tax status that can be elected for an LLC or corporation. For many small business owners, a single-member LLC serves as the most relevant example. When you form a single-member LLC, it is automatically treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes. This means that your business income passes through to Schedule C on your personal return, and you won’t need to file a separate business return. However, you can choose to be taxed as either a C-corporation or an S-corporation.

So what traits my next Consul General look like? They would be proactive in creating projects that foster entrepreneurship, connectivity, and community engagement, while remaining uninfluenced by special interest groups or individuals. I envision a leader who is committed to attending events, engaging with various Filipino organizations, and building meaningful relationships with city officials and other consulates in Houston. Someone who honors their RSVP commitments, follows through on promises, and prioritizes the welfare of our people above personal interests. They would embody a grassroots approach, genuinely understanding the struggles and aspirations of Filams, OFWs, and Filipino immigrants. If the next Consul General will prioritize these programs, I have no doubt that it will continue to thrive as a beacon of hope, support, and unity for our vibrant Filipino community in North America.
